LIBREVILLE, Dhu-AlHijjah 05, 1437, September 06, 2016, SPA -- The African Union said on Tuesday it would send a delegation to help resolve a standoff over presidential election results in Gabon that triggered days of deadly riots, Reuters reported. Official results showed President Ali Bongo narrowly held on to power in the central African oil producer last week - but opposition challenger Jean Ping cried foul, claimed he had won the poll and called for a general strike. "It is an urgent matter and I expect the high-level delegation to be dispatched very soon," African Union spokesman Jacob Enoh Eben said. Chad's President Idriss Deby, who currently holds the chair of the pan-African body, would likely to lead the talks, he added. --SPA 16:05 LOCAL TIME 13:05 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/w
